don't believe so as this is where I got this...E Cigarettes May Be More Effective Than Swine Flu Vaccine | Reuters...
ahh, well I wasn't saying you were trying to advertise that here, it all came out wrong... Was just pointing out that that no.7 ecig company has horrendous prices 
Seems legit and scientific - heres a snippit from the referenced Time magazine link:
Its discovery was accidental. Dr. Robertson and his colleagues were trying out another possible germicidea detergent or "soapless soap" (similar to Dreft, Aerosol and other products widely sold for household and industrial use). Water solutions of the detergent were only mildly effective, so the researchers tried solutions of detergents in propylene glycol, which is a sort of thin glycerine. Results were much better. Then the researchers found that the propylene glycol itself was a potent germicide. One part of glycol in 2,000,000 parts of air wouldwithin a few secondskill concentrations of air-suspended pneumococci, streptococci and other bacteria numbering millions to the cubic foot.
How did it work? Respiratory disease bacteria float about in tiny droplets of water breathed, sneezed and coughed from human beings. The germicidal glycol also floats in infinitesimally small particles. Calculations showed that if droplet had to hit droplet, it would take two to 200 hours for sterilization of sprayed air to take place. Since sterilization took place in seconds, Dr. Robertson concluded that the glycol droplets must give off gas molecules which dissolve in the water droplets and kill the germs within them.

This is remarkable, although it may give the FDA a potential reason to regulate PG as a curative substance.
tobacco smoke on the other hand greatly increases a person susceptibility to infection and illness.
I'll keep my h1n1 thoughts to myself and just say even if a few health risks are discovered in e-cigarettes, I doubt it'll prevent me from going back to the real thing.
I like your theory augie.

its both, an add, and info
one thing that I have found troubling about the ecig world is how many people out there are just trying to make a quick buck, huslers and such.
These guys put out an informitive "article" about one of the benefits of vaping, then tag their add at the end, this to me almost negates the positives of the add. A smart person would look at this and say, "their just trying to sell their product"
Its these same kind of people that tried putting ...... into their ecigs.
Its understandable to want to make money, but these people dont care about smokers any more than tobacco companies do. They hurt the cause in the long run, IMO

I'm not sure why Reuter's would include a tagline plug for any brand - perhaps it's their policy to do so in order to cite their source. Perhaps it's a paid add which makes no sense and we can all disagree with. At the end of the day there are a lot of ecig ads out there I could care less about.
BUT...
The time magazine artice has no ads. It doesn't mention the ecig either. I think what it does say is absolutely an astonishing game-changer though.
Maybe I should get a bunch of super cheap disposeable ecigs and donate them to the local hospital as a humanitarian experiment. I'd probably get a write-off.
Just think of all the money spent on H1N1 vaccine that has to be kept within a certain temperature range or it becomes ineffective and they throw it away.

Well I an tell you from now on, ANYTiME I visit anyone in the hospital I'm vaping the whole time im there!!!!
I'll bring my led'less batteries with me and pretend its a pen and sneak puffs here and there lol
Hate hospitals anyways, but if this may help me not get sick when visiting a hospital or dr.s office then awesome

The times article is from 1942, its a known.
Also, reuters got it through PR Newswire - its a press release. Reuters gets those submitted on the regular.

It's an ad -- it's a press release.

I just noticed the 1942 part... ::sigh:: I'm a little relieved.
Can't believe 67 yr old research got such a rise out of me. On a marketing level I am surprised I haven't seen more of this property of PG.
I'll shut up now...
+1 I'm very happy to see that some members recognized this to be a pathetic advertisement scheme.
